vfs.git part 2
Al Viro
maintainer Consolidating sys_wait* and compat counterparts. Gets rid of
set_fs()/double-copy mess, simplifies the whole thing (lifting the copyouts to the syscalls means less headache in the part that does actual work - fewer failure exits, to start with), gets rid of the overhead of field-by-field __put_user().

osf_wait4: switch to kernel_wait4() (2017-05-21 13:16:26 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (9):
move compat wait4 and waitid next to native variants wait4(2)/waitid(2): separate copying rusage to userland kernel_wait4()/kernel_waitid(): delay copying status to userland waitid(2): leave copyout of siginfo to syscall itself lift getrusage() from wait_noreap_copyout()
kill wait_noreap_copyout()
wait_task_zombie: consolidate info logics
waitid(): switch copyout of siginfo to unsafe_put_user()
osf_wait4: switch to kernel_wait4()
